Part 2 of DDMT 2018: Peru
Peru humbled me completely. In fact Peru kind of broke me...broke me open I think. I’m a careful person...I generally avoid dangerous situations, more specifically physical exertion involving risk. That being said I hiked Huayna Picchu (the mountain featured in all the Machu Picchu photos). I’m terrified of heights, but step by step, holding @arabaz ‘s hand....I made it up there, broke into tears, realized I had to get down the mountain, blew my nose and began my decent. I think I needed something big to break me out of the safety bubble I had created. From climbing mountains in the clouds to dune bugging and sand boarding in the dessert, my time in Peru was unforgettable and left me marvelling at the people, food, landscape and culture. I fell hopelessly in love. Please do yourself a favour and visit. Additional thoughts: Cuy or Guinean pig tastes like chicken, unexpected dolphin sightings may be the most magical thing on earth and coca tea is delicious and definitely helps with altitude sickness. @celiarodrigues87 @arabazmtl #peru#machupicchu#huyanapicchu#huacafuckingchina#arabaz#ddmt2018
